Even more remarkable than the ac, tual construCtion of the dam, hewever, is the deliberate digging of a channel to transport material to the pond. For not ,only do the beavers dig these waterways, but they dam them to hold the water at the proper level for float- ing the loge and tree limbs.' These ditches vary in width from one to four feet, in depth. fro,m eight inches to two feet, and in length from a few feet to over five hunched feet.
